What exactly leaves Arbitrum as BNB?
BNB is a contract representation on Arbitrum with 18 decimals at 0x20865e63B111B2649ef829EC220536c82C58ad7B. ETH, not BNB, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. On an Arbitrum source, the Nitro sequencer records L2 execution before Ethereum settlement completes; ETH funds gas and ERC-20 inputs can need approval. Native BNB can fund value and BSC gas, while tokenized BNB requires the source chain’s gas asset and contract handling.
What exactly arrives on Linea as AVAX?
AVAX is a contract representation on Linea with 18 decimals at 0x5471ea8f739dd37E9B81Be9c5c77754D8AA953E4. ETH, not AVAX, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. A Linea receipt is recorded on the zkEVM L2 before the related proof settles to Ethereum; later activity needs ETH on Linea and the Linea token contract. Native Avalanche receipt belongs on C-Chain and can fund later gas; an AVAX token on another chain remains a contract balance.
Why does the BNB to AVAX direction matter?
Native BNB can fund value and BSC gas, while tokenized BNB requires the source chain’s gas asset and contract handling. On receipt, Native Avalanche receipt belongs on C-Chain and can fund later gas; an AVAX token on another chain remains a contract balance.
What changes between the source and destination asset roles?

What should be matched before sending BNB?

A Linea receipt is recorded on the zkEVM L2 before the related proof settles to Ethereum; later activity needs ETH on Linea and the Linea token contract. Native Avalanche receipt belongs on C-Chain and can fund later gas; an AVAX token on another chain remains a contract balance.
